Introducing AEGIS
AEGIS — Autonomous Environmental Guard and Intelligent Sound — is our second product. An autonomous audio system management platform that keeps venues compliant without killing the music.
The problem
Every night, thousands of venues across Europe face the same tension: music loud enough to create atmosphere, quiet enough to avoid fines. The tools available force a false choice between compliance and experience.
Power cut-off limiters kill the music mid-set. They damage equipment. They frustrate performers and audiences. They solve the legal problem by creating a worse one.
SPL monitors tell you when you've already exceeded the limit — after the fact, when the fine is already earned.
Staff adjust levels based on guesswork. Turnover means retraining every few months. The result: noise complaints, fines, license threats, and no data to diagnose what went wrong.
The industry has accepted "compliance or experience" as a binary. It isn't. The system just needs to be smarter than a power switch.
The approach
AEGIS doesn't monitor. It manages.
Monitor
Computer vision counts occupancy in real-time. Calibrated microphones measure SPL across the frequency spectrum. The system knows exactly what's happening in the venue, continuously.
Analyze
AI correlates occupancy, ambient noise, time of day, and historical patterns. It predicts when levels will approach limits — before they reach them.
Adapt
AEGIS adjusts the audio system natively — through Q-SYS, Powersoft, or OSC protocols. Volume, EQ, and limiting are modified transparently, preserving audio quality while maintaining compliance.
Protect
Hard limits guarantee dB ceilings are never breached. Spectral processing reduces volume intelligently — no power cuts, no distortion, no damaged equipment.
Report
Automatic compliance documentation. Continuous logging, historical analysis, and reports ready for authorities. Proof that the venue was compliant, every night, without manual effort.
Why it matters
| Traditional Limiters | AEGIS |
|---|---|
| Power cut when limit exceeded | Transparent spectral adjustment |
| Equipment damage risk | Audio quality preserved |
| No data, no diagnostics | Continuous compliance logging |
| Manual recalibration needed | Self-calibrating, predictive |
| One jurisdiction, one config | Multi-jurisdiction out of the box |
Architecture
The edge node runs on a Mac Mini M2. A Tauri desktop app wraps a Rust core that handles audio capture, real-time analysis, protocol communication with Q-SYS and Powersoft hardware, and the decision engine loop.
A Python ML sidecar provides computer vision via YOLOv8 for people counting. The system operates fully offline, with optional cloud sync through Supabase for multi-venue management.
Professional audio means professional reliability. AEGIS runs on the edge, not in the cloud. If the network drops, the system keeps working. It syncs when reconnected.
No venue should ever lose compliance protection because of an internet outage.
Where we are
AEGIS is in active development. The core monitoring and adaptation loop works. We're refining the predictive model and expanding hardware integrations.
Early access is open for venues willing to be part of the development process.
The target markets are nightclubs, music venues, restaurants, event spaces, and hotels — anywhere sound levels meet regulations. Pre-configured for Italy (DPCM 215/1999), France (Decree 2017-1244), Belgium (VLAREM II), Switzerland, and Germany.
What's next
The goal is a system you install once and never think about again. Compliance that happens in the background, automatically, with proof.
Sound, shaped. Not silenced.
